7424B BROW.Indd BOOK BY MAY 25 TO RECEIVE A FREE NIGHT IN ISTANBUL BROWN TRAVELERS VOYAGE TO THE AEGEAN SEA AN EXPLORATION OF GREECE, THE GREEK ISLANDS & TURKEY Aboard the All-Suite, 114-Guest Corinthian II August 27 - September 6, 2007 With Alan L. Boegehold, Emeritus Professor of Classics at Brown FACULTY LECTURER Alan L. Boegehold retired from teaching Classics at Brown in 2001 and has since taught at Amherst College as Visiting Professor of Classics and at Florida State University as Langford Family Eminent Scholar. He has also taught at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Harvard University, Yale University, University of California at Berkeley and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. He continues to maintain an office in the Classics Department at Brown. Professor Boegehold’s education and training includes: A.B., University of Michigan 1950 (Latin); A.M., Harvard University 1954 (Classical Philology); Ph.D., Harvard University 1958 (Classical Philology); American School of Classical Studies at Athens, 1955-1957. His professional interests are general and include Greek archaeology, history and literature, and he has published studies in all of these areas. A veteran of educational tours, Professor Boegehold has previously visited every stop on this itinerary, and he very much looks forward to sharing his knowledge and perspective with you on this wonderful journey. GUEST LECTURERS David Gordon Mitten is Harvard University’s James Loeb Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology. He is George M.A. Hanfmann Curator of Ancient and Byzantine Art emeritus in Harvard University Art Museums, associate director of Harvard’s Archaeological Exploration of Sardis, and head of the Master of Liberal Arts in Museum Studies program for the Harvard Extension School. David Quint (Ph.D., Yale University) is the Sterling Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Yale. He is the present chair of the Department of Comparative Literature. His teaching focuses on the relationship of literature and art to its intellectual, social, and political contexts. He is particularly interested in the larger cultural meanings vested in literary and generic forms. Quint is the author of many books including Epic and Empire (1993); Montaigne and the Quality of Mercy (1998) and Cervantes’s Novel of Modern Times (2003). He has also published essays on Virgil, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Bruni, Castiglione, Flaubert, and Cervantes. His research plans include a book on the Aeneid. For this program, Professor Quint plans talks about Troy, Crete, and Mycenae as they were seen in later literary traditions and their role as models in later empires. Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown, Nowhere in the world does natural beauty come together with magnificent historical sites more than it does in the Greek Islands. For centuries, travelers have made pilgrimages to the birthplace of Western culture to appreciate the sunlit ruins overlooking bleached cliffs and azure waters. Late this summer, when the magical light of Greece is at its loveliest, we invite you to explore these wonders for yourself on an enchanting cruise of the Aegean. Everywhere you go in this part of the world, the gods of legend and myth still echo in the wind, and spectacular monuments stand as testament to the ingenuity and spirit of the ancients. In legendary Troy, we will visit the site of perhaps the greatest love story, where the mythological Trojan War was fought over the mesmerizing beauty of the half-goddess Helen. On the pristine island of Delos, the birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, we will walk among the fallen columns beneath a vast blue sky. Like the classical Greeks themselves, we will marvel at the 3,500 year-old citadels and walls of Mycenae. In Ephesus, we’ll make our way down the very marble roads used by the Apostle Paul in what is considered to be the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean. Historical sites, however, are only a part of the pleasure of a Greek Island cruise. There are also pristine beaches, incomparably blue waters, olive groves, cliffs covered by white-washed houses and charming cafés. You will enjoy the local cuisine at a small tavern in a quaint village in Crete. In Santorini, you will gaze into the caldera of what was probably the biggest volcanic eruption in history. To help you make the most of the experience, Alan L. Boegehold, Emeritus Professor of Classics at Brown, will accompany the trip. He will suggest advance reading, give lectures and lead discussions that will enhance your understanding of this unique itinerary. Your home for this journey will be the graceful, 114-guest, all-suite Corinthian II, the perfect cruise ship for touring the Aegean Sea. Corinthian II is at once large enough to offer all the amenities of a large ship, such as a spacious restaurant, two comfortable lounges, a gym and a sundeck with a Jacuzzi; but small enough to navigate the tiny inlets and harbors. We will share this departure with alumni and friends from Yale, Harvard, the Archaeological Institute of America and the Explorers Club. Don’t miss this opportunity to join us on an in-depth exploration of the fabled Aegean, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and culturally important places in the world.

  • 2017-Sisters-Healthcare-Letter-With
    Since this letter was circulated, Senate leadership has repeatedly changed course – from the BCRA, to a repeal of the Affordable Care Act without a replacement, to amendments of bills from 2015. This is not good governance. Catholic Sisters are united in defense of our nation’s most vulnerable, who are most at risk in these healthcare negotiations. Rather than continuing to negotiate partisan legislation that would cause tens of millions of Americans to lose access to health coverage, Congress should seek bipartisan solutions to expand quality, affordable coverage. As Catholic Sisters, we stand by our belief that health is a universal right and urge Senators to vote no on the motion to proceed for any bill that would repeal the ACA and cut Medicaid. July 24, 2017 United States Senate Capitol Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senators: We, more than 7,000 Catholic Sisters in the United States, write to urge you to cast a life- affirming “no” vote against the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA). We have many concerns with this bill, but we are most troubled by the cuts it would make to Medicaid by ending the Medicaid expansion and instituting a per capita cap. Our faith urges us to care for all people and all of creation, especially the most vulnerable. The BCRA would be the most harmful legislation for American families in our lifetimes, and it goes against our Catholic faith teaching. As Pope Francis teaches, “health is not a consumer good, but a universal right, so access to health services cannot be a privilege.” Responding to this integral part of our faith, many of our religious congregations founded hospitals and hospital systems in the United States.

    Mamoli Zorzi and Manthorne (eds.)

  • 364 Italian Bookshelf
    ITALIAN BOOKSHELF Edited by Dino S. Cervigni and Anne Tordi with the collaboration of Norma Bouchard, Paolo Cherchi, Gustavo Costa, Albert N. Mancini, Massimo Maggiari, and John P. Welle. Mario Marti. Da Dante a Croce. Proposte consensi dissensi. Pubblicazioni del Dipartimento di Filologia, Linguistica e Letteratura dell’Università di Lecce, 25. Galatina: Congedo, 2005. Pp. 187. I cavalli di razza — mi piace a volte ricordare a giovani colleghi — si riconoscono non solo dallo sprint iniziale, cioè dall’entusiasmo di ogni giovane studioso all’inizio della carriera, ma ancor più dalla capacità di restare in lizza sino alla conclusione della carriera, che va ben oltre l’attività didattica. Cavallo di razza eccezionale — e spero che la metafora non dispiaccia — è dunque Mario Marti, classe 1914 (come ricorda egli stesso orgogliosamente in questo volume), il quale pubblicò il suo primissimo scritto nel lontano 1943, come si legge nel suo penultimo volume, Ultimi contributi: dal certo al vero (Galatina: Congedo, 1995), corredato della bibliografia dell’Autore (pagg. 255-316). Bibliografia, questa di Marti, che già nel 1995, quando egli aveva compiuto gli ottanta anni di età, aveva raggiunto il numero di 969 scritti, che egli ha continuato ad aumentare nei due lustri susseguenti tramite un’attività di investigatore profondo, perspicace e diligente e che arriva dunque, come leggiamo nella bibliografia del presente volume (pagg. 175-81), a 1064 voci: un elenco, questo, già superato dato che il volume è stato consegnato alla stampa il 25 marzo 2005 e dato che il professor Mario Marti è tuttora impegnato su vari fronti della storia letteraria d’Italia.
